    ^ “In the coming months.”
    I remember reading this back around January or February.
    Old news, but I’m still waiting on the announcement of the possibility of GameBoy + GameBoy Color titles for VC or NDS’ VC. *Hint \:D/

    Uhm, where are we supposed to keep these games?
    Aren’t they supposed to me massive in size?
    The Wii’s built in HD is not very big and I don’t want to keep swapping VC games from backup in order to be able to play.

    KING OF FIGHTERS… i belive that was a Neo-Geo arcade back in the day. Man I loved that game although I don’t recall too much of the gameplay. Mainly just picking a giant robot or monster and brawlin thru cities etc…
    Also I doubt these games will be large since they are very old. Back in the day 1 MB was like 1 GB now a days… ;-}

    I want me some Metal Slug and some Bust-A-Move, and I’ll be happy.

  • Pete

    I wouldn’t worry too much about size. Yes the games were massive for the day. Games like Fatal Fury were 55 megs as opposed to SNES Street Fighters II at 16 megs. But this is in megabits not megabytes. What you end up with is about a 7MB file. The largest Neo-Geo game would end up being almost 90 MB in size. I doubt any of those games will come out soon or if at all. So don’t worry about size.
